Justice For Families Sound Tapestry by 010101010101

Created in collaboration with and for Justice for Families (JFF), this sound-based tapestry contributes to the impermanence of memory and the contested nature of the archive. In a testament to young women and men killed by on-and-off duty police, family members expertly reminisce on who Joshua Beal, Archie Lee Chambers, Jr., Rekia Boyd, RonnieMan Ronald Johnson, and Pierre Loury were and how they embodied love.

This audio collage is not only for remembrance, but to counter the dehumanization of those lost to state violence by speaking of their lives, relationships, and their personal impact on those closest to them. The culminating audio conjoining the pages of this toolkit honors the remembrance of loved ones by loved ones to consider the continuation of life after death.

Erased or immortalized by the news and national mentions are full narratives with interwoven lives and unrealized futures. We hope this collection of .wav bits is a testament to the human toll of systematic error.
